초록

The international motif is Henry James’s main interest. He usually tries to deal with the problems of Americans living in Europe. The purpose of this study is to discuss why the leading character Newman takes all things too easy. To this end, the relationships between Newman and the Europeanized Americans and the Bellegardes must be examined. Through studying those relationships in Europe, we can infer that Newman’s optimistic resignation originates from his free will and commercialism and success in business. Even if Newman lacks the serious attitude of living and intensive assessment of any situation when he lives in Europe at first, he gradually tries to make an effort to change his existing consciousness to understand the European culture and customs to live in the society peacefully and harmoniously. Newman can finally cure the scars on his mind and body by himself through his generosity and changed and matured consciousness. Thus, it is suggested that making a compromise and concession instead of retaliation is an important point for living in the multi-cultural and international society without conflict.

Abstract

The international motif is Henry James’s main interest. He usually tries to deal with the problems of Americans living in Europe. The purpose of this study is to discuss why the leading character Newman takes all things too easy. To this end, the relationships between Newman and the Europeanized Americans and the Bellegardes must be examined. Through studying those relationships in Europe, we can infer that Newman’s optimistic resignation originates from his free will and commercialism and success in business. Even if Newman lacks the serious attitude of living and intensive assessment of any situation when he lives in Europe at first, he gradually tries to make an effort to change his existing consciousness to understand the European culture and customs to live in the society peacefully and harmoniously. Newman can finally cure the scars on his mind and body by himself through his generosity and changed and matured consciousness. Thus, it is suggested that making a compromise and concession instead of retaliation is an important point for living in the multi-cultural and international society without conflict.
